My Storm

I considered it to be a blessing to be surrounded by people who encouraged me in the power of prayer for healing. What’s more important is that I learned to pray and seek the Lord in a different way for myself. The word of the Lord says in I Samuel 30:6, “…but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.”

This storm brought about a new level of growth for me that I had to grasp if I was to receive healing for my mind, body and spirit. God can do anything except fail. This brought me closer to the Lord and developed a more intimate search for the full purpose for my life. I remember telling myself “when this is all over, God must receive full glory. He will see to it.”

Today, I am living in victory with my disease under control. Everything that deteriorated when I was first diagnosed has returned new and healthier. I know it is the power of healing from God who promised to be my Jehovah Ropha- God my Healer.

This is but another piece of my destiny to encourage someone who may be facing a life changing experience. I do not know how long my storm will last, but even if the storm does not cease, I promised God I would work for him and bless him no matter what comes. My pastor once said, “If God put it on your plate, He knows you can handle it.” I do not know what is on your plate today, but you can make it through. Even now I see where the Lord has preserved me in this situation.

I cannot die now.
